[Verse 1]
Gm7 F C Gm7 F C
I used to dream I was a poster in a bedroom
Gm7 F C Gm7 F C
Or the pictures that get cut out of the fancy magazines
Gm7 F C Gm7 F C
Some tortured genius meant to leave the planet too soon
Gm7 F C Gm7 F C
Living on champagne in the back of limousines
[Chorus]
Gm7 F C
Trying to feed the fire
Gm7 F C
Without really knowing why
Gm7 F C
Trying to feed the fire
Gm7 F C
While hoping that it dies
[Break]

[Verse 2]
Gm7 F C Gm7 F C
Trading where I'm at for some future destination
Gm7 F C Gm7 F C
Working for attention I'll eventually resent
Gm7 F C Gm7 F C
Trying to ignore some of the darker implications
Gm7 F C Gm7 F C
Of smiling for the camera with my hands in wet cement
[Chorus]
Gm7 F C
Trying to feed the fire
Gm7 F C
Without really knowing why
Gm7 F C
Trying to feed the fire
Gm7 F C
While hoping that it dies
Gm7 F C
Trying to feed the fire
Gm7 F C
Without really knowing why
Gm7 F C
Trying to feed the fire
Gm7 F C
While hoping that it dies
[Verse 3]
Gm7 F C Gm7 F C
There's someone in my reflection that's been haunting me my whole life
Gm7 F C Gm7 F C
There's a world outside my window I can barely even hear
Gm7 F C Gm7 F C
And I wonder to myself as I am straightening my bowtie:
Gm7 F C C
How can I look so perfect on the screen and so awful in the mirror?
[Chorus]
Gm7 F C
Trying to feed the fire
Gm7 F C
Without really knowing why
Gm7 F C
Trying to feed the fire
Gm7 F C
While hoping that it dies
Gm7 F C
Trying to feed the fire
Gm7 F C
Without really knowing why
Gm7 F C
Trying to feed the fire
Gm7 F C
While hoping that it dies
Gm7 F C
Hoping that it dies
Gm7 F C
Hoping that it dies
Gm7 F C
Hoping that it dies
